As the White House was gearing up to sell Obamacare to the American people last summer, Valerie Jarrett, the president’s pointwoman on a host of issues, phoned Oprah Winfrey.

She invited the Queen of All Media to join celebrities, including Amy Poehler, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys, to meet with President Obama and discuss how they could generate publicity for his health-care law.

Oprah refused to go, instead insulting Obama by sending a surrogate.

It’s ok, because Obama had plenty of other hucksters at the ready to try to pimp Obamacare to the stupid in America.
